A lot is being said about
what to store in self storage belongings. Even if you pack your
belongings properly, there are certain items that should not be
stored in a self storage unit as it can jeopardize their long term
functionality and condition. Here are some belongings that you should
never store in a storage space –

Combustibles and
explosives – Anything that runs the risk of getting exploded or
causing a fire should not be kept in a storage unit. These include
your cooking oil, isopropyl alcohol, kerosene, home cleaning liquids,
turpentine or glue, among others. If you are storing machinery, then
remove all the oil and gas prior to storing them.

Perishable items –
Items such as food or anything that contains moisture should also not
be stored in a storage facility. Not only such item will decay, it
will also attract mosquitoes, germs and pests as well.

Plants – Plants require
care and proper climate to grow. Do not store plants as nobody will
be there to water them. In addition, plants grow in soil and it
attracts insects. Therefore it is important that you should not bring
them to your New York storage facility.

Storage facilities offer
a safe shelter to your belongings. Keep these points in mind and let
your belongings remain in perfect shape for years to come.
